Interesting facts and trivia about Sorry Not Sorry. By Songfacts®.

The lead single from Demi Lovato's sixth studio album is a savage girl-power anthem about rising above those trying to bring you down. Speaking to Amazon, Lovato said: "'Sorry Not Sorry' is a song basically to the haters, it is basically saying 'I am good now, I am sorry I am not sorry that you may not be loving where your life is at the moment.' It is s just a song about the haters."

Demi Lovato wrote the song with: Warren "Oak" Felder who together with his frequent songwriting partner, Andrew "Pop" Wansel, has produced several of Nicki Minaj's singles including "Your Love" and "Right By My Side." His other credits range from Alessia Cara's consecutive hits "Here" and "Scars to Your Beautiful" to Usher's "Good Kisser" and Tory Lanez's "Say It." Felder also handled the production on this track. Downtown Trevor Brown and Zaire Koalo, who are two of Oak Felder's producers. They also co-penned the tracks "Everything Is Yours" and "Escape" for Kehlani's SweetSexySavage album. Sean Douglas, who also co-wrote Demi Lovato's Top 10 hit "Heart Attack." His other credits include Jason DeRulo's "Talk Dirty" and "Wiggle."

The song's music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis (who also shot the clip for "Cool For The Summer"). The entire visual was shot during a wild house party Lovato hosted in Los Angeles, which seems to have featured plenty of dancing, making out and a bubble bath. It includes cameos from Jamie Foxx, Wiz Khalifa, Paris Hilton and a few of the singer's best friends. Demi Lovato told MTV News correspondent Gaby Wilson she recruited the celeb cameos via text messages. "I thought Paris would be, like, awesome to be the DJ," she explained. "Wiz is a friend of mine - we go to the same gym - and then Jamie Foxx, I had just been over to his house for a party. And so I was like, I'd love for you to be in my video, and he is so freakin' funny, so having him in it was a blast."
